We have a hard core of drivers living year round in Sainte Foy Tarentaise the village on the main road the D902 that heads up to Tignes and Val-d'Isère. So its likely to be a real local delivering you to resort and if you ask they will be only too happy to share a bit of their knowledge on route.
The Journey from Geneva to Sainte Foy
One of our smart and helpful driving team will meet you you from your flight at Geneva Airport. If you are landing in terminal 1 then follow signs through to the Swiss side. Here we have a designated meeting point as we do for terminal 2.
We follow the A41 towards Annecy, then drive around the proximity of Lac d'Annecy (Annecy Lake). This is a very picturesque part of the journey, if you are lucky enough to be travelling in the day time. The mountains rise up from behind the lake as we drive, so you will start to feel that you are close to the Alps.
After Annecy we pass the city of Albertville on the motorway. Then the small towns of Moûtiers and Aime. The route then takes you through Bourg Sainte Maurice and out the other side on the D1090.
Driving through Seez, a small town close to La Rosiere, we then start to head in the direction of Tignes and Val dI’sere, arriving at the village of Sainte Foy Tarentaise after about 8km.
Just after here we turn off to a steep, but very pretty, tree lined road that brings us out by the ski station of Sainte Foy.
